Processors resources
KVH has developed the Psa Management Protocols for Processors to minimise the risks associated with the transport and handling of reject fruit. These practices will help deal with risks before transport and prevent inter-regional movement of reject fruit consignments that have the potential to contain highly mobile hitchhiker plant material.
